Partition wall



Feb. 19, 1935. A; HAMMERLE Patented Feb. 19, 1 935 PATENT OFFICEPARTITION WALL Adolf I-Iiimm'erle, Modling, Austria Application February13, 1933, Serial No; 656,492 In Austria February 24, 1932 1 Claim. (01.tie-116) It is known to make partition walls by plastering wire netting,plaited wire or similar supporting means on one or both sides withmortar.

The invention consists in that a plurality of 5 polygonal dowel-likebodies made of concrete or the like are loosely inserted in the meshesof the netting after it has been erected for the pur-' pose of holdingthe mortar. The advantage of the wall according to the invention is thatthe 10 adhesion between the support and the mortar is increased. Anembodiment of the invention is illustrated by way of example in theaccompanying drawingin which:

Fig. 1 shows a portion of the support with an inserted dowel.

Fig. 2 is a section through a portion of a finished wall.

Dowel-like bodies A are inserted in the meshes 20 B of the support ofwires D. The dowel A has a steep inclined portion C between its shankand head designed to prevent the dowel from falling out of a mesh of thesupport.

By this construction of the dowel a head is I 25 formed at c which iswider than the width of the meshes of the wire netting, so that thishead cannot pass through the meshes. The portion of the dowel body Aextending from'the head 0 also widens but only to such an extent that it3 can easily be passed through the meshes of the wire netting. As thisportion is heavier than the head C, the dowel hangs in an inclinedposition in the netting and cannot drop out. The dowels A are insertedrelatively close together in the wire netting after it has been set upin a well 5 known manner, and the mortar is then applied which on bothsides of the wire netting adheres to the flat faces of the dowels anddoes not slide off the same as is the case-when round dowels areemployed. I

' The dowels A are not woven in the wire netting D, as in similar oldconstructions. Consequently the production is cheapened and the materialrequires less space for transporting because the wire netting can betightly-rolled without the 15 dowels which can be accommodated in aseparate container. 7

A partition, comprising in combination a wire netting, polygonaldowel-like bodies adapted to be inserted in said netting to hold themortar on said wire netting, each body consisting of a shank ofrectangular cross section widening gradually towards one end andwidening at a sharp incline at its other end to form a head, 7 thegradually widening end'of the shank being heavier than said head tocausesaid body to assume an inclined position in the netting.
